after a few years on hiatus, one electronica has gone all out in with a heavy debut 4 tracker from new member thought camera. the young belfast born producer who has been very busy in the studio putting together an arsenal of electronic weapons has also enjoyed an increase in popularity and profile in the local scene due to his hard work and commitment to the cause. with such a strong release about to drop in the next few weeks and with more unreleased material on its way this guy is worth keeping an eye on as a rising talent. without using too many bullshit analogies – this is release is simply dancefloor bliss and a djs dream that will be keep at the front of a record box for years to come and could be a favourite among various styles. the title track astral pilot comes in strong with spatial glitchy electronic chatter and tubular echoes that are pretty damn haunting. headspace comes in on a2 which is the antithesis of serenity and meditation that the name suggests. this acidic jack track is upbeat and laden with bass bleeding all over the place. flip it over and you have lifeforms on the b1 which is the most technical track on the release which ebbs and flows between solemn and sombre leaving you emotionally twisted yet intrigued this is one to look out for! obsession which aptly depicts this track a stalker in the night, haunting, imposing, friday 13th shit. not for the faint hearted.

one electronica returns with a blinding 12 inch from samaan, featuring knock-out remixes from the exaltics & phantom planet outlaws (feat. john heckle & mark forshaw).

the explosive initiation of one electronicas -1210- series comes from ann harbours d marc cantu. the series will consist of one twelve inch and one ten inch vinyl. no mp3 s as per with one electronica and its main aims are to give the artist freedom to do what ever he or she wishes! the extensive palate of sounds available on this pack range from slower ambience influenced grooves, outright -jak-, industrial grit pursuing to intense, pace-ridden, electronic mayhem, as heard in microdots

nice price deal !!! samaan delivers a crushing ep here for his third 12 inch on one electronica. no question that this ep is a big un, and with a suitably freaky remix d marc cantu the deal is sealed with this bone-breaking trio of serrated bangers. and we aint talking no spiky sausages her

brill raw analog acidic techno, incl john heckle mixes

another clever techno release with emphasis on quality and structure and not forgetting the input from detroit dub merchant luke hess. *terminator reserve* is dominated by a thick bass line, razor sharp percussion, devastating juno stabs and with tonnes of analogue warmth coming from its abyssal depths. the luke hess remix provides the deep qualities of the original however its much more repetitive in its nature making it truly hypnotic and one you cannot help but get completely lost in. on the b side *mediator* is rough and ready ... booming kicks, dynamic bass shifts accompanied by the right amount of snare and filter inputs make this one of the toughest on the release not forgetting that its split down the middle with a heavy 303 bleed. highly recommended! *stilled* runs off in the opposite direction to the other track it shares the b with as its laden with detroit influenced floating chords and percussion.
